Yesterday, I went to the dermotologist for my 4th "round" of cortisone shots on my already sore scalp. Tears streamed down my face while I was being injected. The nurse stopped, put her hand on my shoulder and apologized for the pain. Taking a deep breath and wiping my sad eyes, I said, "It's not my head that hurts...It's my heart."

You are right about that. I shed so many tears over my daughter's hairloss. Emotional pain is much worse than physical. They can medicate physical pain.
